AuntyRach I have an apology. I've been reading your name as "Anti-Rash". Not nearly as endearing as reading it as Auntie Raych, like you have a sister with kids and your name's Rachel.
I have no need to control or regulate nature, indeed only a fool would think they can.
i do need to control and regulate those things which are detrimental to my existence but understand that whatever I do is only a temporary solution. Gardeners on the whole have their feet on the ground if not in the soil, was this a deliberately thought provoking post, if so it succeeded

I'm surprised the OP uses the monstrous medium of the internet or satan's power , or electricity as the rest of us call it.
Maybe a WUM we know by a different name, Hosta?
